Keeping Commitments
Keeping commitments for an entrepreneur with all the
upheavals that he/she faces is many times very difficult. So what exactly is happening
in their life? Are they doing it deliberately to trouble someone or did they
just forget/overlooked thinking there is enough time at hand!
Till an entrepreneur grows really big and has a big team
he/she has to perform the duties from that of a peon, sweeper to a CEO! In all
of this you may say it’s ok or like they say in Hindi,’Chalta Hain’. But this
chalta hain can have many repercussions for the entrepreneur and others.
Eg-Entrepreneur.Let’s take the phone bill, the due date
gets missed and late payment charges are Rs100/-.One can say it’s ok,it’s
only 100 bucks not a big deal! But at the end of the year it will total to Rs
1200/-.Now think how many other due dates have been missed and how many late
charges would you be paying? And pray where are these funds coming from? They
are either pure profit or capital, what an unnecessary waste!
Now if you always pay on time and once in a while get
delayed, one can always request the company and they will waive off!
Eg- Others. You delay salary inspite of having funds and you
rationalize saying it’s ok, just late by a few days, what does it matter? But you never know that
salary may mean life and death for your staff. School fees, rent, groceries etc,you never know,so why delay?
Hence even though these may fall under mundane jobs, pay
attention and deliver on time. When one learns to keep commitments in these
small matters, it brings discipline in the more important spheres of business
also. And in the words of my mentor,’ Light that spark within you and soar away
to spectacular performances’
